TEAS 7 English Practice Test

1. Which of the following is the most likely setting of the scenario below? Walking along the Thames, Julianna saw a sign advertising a fish and chips shop. Since she felt a bit peckish, she made her way over to the queue.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The mention of the Thames, fish and chips, and queue strongly indicates a British setting. Fish and chips are a traditional British dish, and the Thames is a famous river in London, England. Additionally, forming a queue is a common practice in England. Therefore, based on these cultural clues, London, England, is the most likely setting of the scenario. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not align with the specific cultural references mentioned in the scenario.

2. Which of the following statements contains colloquialisms?

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because 'hang out' and 'chill' are colloquialisms, informal expressions commonly used in casual conversations. Choice A is a polite and formal way to ask for a meeting, devoid of colloquial language. Choice B is a straightforward expression of enjoyment without any colloquialisms. Choice D is a polite and formal statement that does not contain any colloquial language.

3. Identify the determiner in the following sentence:

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The determiner in the sentence is 'few.' Determiners specify the quantity or identity of a noun. In this case, 'few' indicates the number of birds present. Choice A, 'happily,' is an adverb modifying a verb or an adjective, not a determiner. Choice B, 'branches,' is a noun referring to parts of a tree, not a determiner. Choice D, 'tree,' is a noun identifying the main subject of the sentence, not a determiner.

4. Which of these examples is a compound sentence?

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Option C is a compound sentence because it consists of two independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction ('and then'). The first independent clause is 'Alex and Shane spent the morning coloring,' and the second independent clause is 'they took a walk down to the park.' Choices A, B, and D are not compound sentences. In choice A, although there are two actions mentioned, they are not independent clauses; they are part of a single sentence. Choice B is a complex sentence with a dependent clause ('After coloring all morning') and an independent clause. Choice D is a complex sentence with a compound predicate ('After coloring all morning and spending part of the day at the park') followed by an independent clause.

5. Which of the following sentences uses proper capitalization?

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct sentence uses lowercase 'summer' and capitalizes 'Niagara Falls.' Choice A incorrectly capitalizes 'Summer,' while Choice B incorrectly capitalizes 'niagara falls' and should have 'New York' capitalized. Choice D incorrectly capitalizes 'Summer' and 'new york.'
